Does this make anyone else laugh?

As I was looking through Bella's school work today I found this...

It cracks me up that as she read through the answers she decided to go with "break" instead of "see". I wonder what was going through her head at the time. I especially love that her teacher didn't mark her as wrong realizing that it was a valid answer, just not the best. She must wonder what goes on at our house...a lot of ruined screens I guess.

I think it is awesome that her teacher didn't mark it wrong and let her have a difference of opinion. It would make me a little nervous for my screens!

That is hilarious! As a teacher myself, I have to say those little things are what make working with kids SO fun. That and the funny things they say...

How funny is that!? Yeah, she must think that you don't have an intact screen in your house, not to mention all of that broken air! What a mess!

That is so cute. It took me a minute to figure out what was "wrong" with it. I guess I would have put break too. ;) What fun.

I'm an overthinker on multiple choice...so cute that her teacher checked it "ok".

I just checked out your blog banners side bar. Wow. Wow. You are truly an amazing artist.

What kind of jacked up 1st grade question is that?? Good grief, it's rather abstract. Bella's a genius.

First of all, anyone who knows Bella would know that she doesn't break things. She is just not that type of girl. So I am sure her teacher just got a laugh out of it. Bella is so docile.

I just love also that the teacher simply said the other answer is better. I had a professor at BYU for English who covered my papers with red pen based on her subjective opinion about word choice or supportive sentences or whatever. It annoyed me so badly that she would correct my choice of words or other things which were not really incorrect, by definition. Obviously she knew more than me but it was like she searched for any opportunity to scribble red pen everywhere. This makes me love Bella's teacher and I don't even know her.

This made me laugh- I love that the teacher didn't mark it wrong. 1st grade? Kind of a weird question for that age. Good for Bella!

That is really cute! I, too, love that the teacher didn't mark it wrong. I think things like this must be so fun for teachers to come across in the grading of papers.

What a funny thing to find. It's very refreshing that her teacher marked ok instead of wrong. Very cute!

That is a keeper, for sure! Kudos to the teacher!

Adorable! I want to know what she was thinking too, it had to be funny! Kat's teacher is all about the red pen but not with suggestions like the teacher did here.

I hope you get all your screens fixed, ha!

Sometimes I wish I could break through some air too :) Cute.

I'm so glad the teacher didn't just say she was wrong. Multiple choice testing can be so hard for people with creative minds -- often there is just not one right answer! So at least this teacher is enlightened and not crushing her creative thinking.

I think this is fantastic! Love that the teacher didn't make her feel badly by marking a huge red line through it. Marked it OK with "this is better". I love that! We need more teachers like this! I love that her answer totally made sense! Too cute!
